> "Systems programming" is hard, and should be hard, for reasons unrelated to the programming language used. The question is: is it harder than it needs to be due to accidental complexity[1] in programming language design. TFA argues that there is still some accidental complexity in the design of Rust that leaves room for an "easier" language that still allows the level of control needed for a systems language.

WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important. https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/2554.
